Amos Propheta 6
1 vae qui opulenti estis in Sion et confiditis in monte Samariae optimates capita populorum ingredientes pompatice domum Israhel
Woe [to] those secure in Zion, And those confident on the mountain of Samaria, The marked of the chief of the nations, And the house of Israel has come to them.
2 transite in Chalanne et videte et ite inde in Emath magnam et descendite in Geth Palestinorum et ad optima quaeque regna horum si latior terminus eorum termino vestro est
Pass over [to] Calneh and see, And go there [to] Hamath the great, And go down [to] Gath of the Philistines, Are [they] better than these kingdoms? [Is] their border greater than your border?
3 qui separati estis in diem malum et adpropinquatis solio iniquitatis
Who are putting away the day of evil, And you bring the seat of violence near,
4 qui dormitis in lectis eburneis et lascivitis in stratis vestris qui comeditis agnum de grege et vitulos de medio armenti
Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst of the stall,
5 qui canitis ad vocem psalterii sicut David putaverunt se habere vasa cantici
Who are taking part according to the stringed instrument, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;
6 bibentes in fialis vinum et optimo unguento delibuti et nihil patiebantur super contritione Ioseph
Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And anoint themselves [with] chief perfumes, And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.
7 quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium et auferetur factio lascivientium
Therefore they now go at the head of the captives, And the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones is turned aside.
8 iuravit Dominus Deus in anima sua dicit Dominus Deus exercituum detestor ego superbiam Iacob et domos eius odi et tradam civitatem cum habitatoribus suis
Lord YHWH has sworn by Himself, A declaration of YHWH, God of Hosts: “I am abominating the excellence of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fullness.”
9 quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una et ipsi morientur
And if there are left ten persons in one house, It has come to pass—that they have died.
10 et tollet eum propinquus suus et conburet eum ut efferat ossa de domo et dicet ei qui in penetrabilibus domus est numquid adhuc est apud te et respondebit finis est et dicet ei tace et non recorderis nominis Domini
And his loved one has lifted him up, even his burner, To bring forth the bones from the house, And he said to him who [is] in the sides of the house, “Is there [any] yet with you?” And he said, “None,” Then he said, “Hush! We must not make mention of the Name of YHWH.”
11 quia ecce Dominus mandabit et percutiet domum maiorem ruinis et domum minorem scissionibus
For behold, YHWH is commanding, And He has struck the great house [with] breaches, And the little house [with] clefts.
12 numquid currere queunt in petris equi aut arari potest in bubalis quoniam convertistis in amaritudinem iudicium et fructum iustitiae in absinthium
Do horses run on a rock? Does one plow [it] with oxen? For you have turned judgment to gall, And the fruit of righteousness to wormwood.
13 qui laetamini in nihili qui dicitis numquid non in fortitudine nostra adsumpsimus nobis cornua
O you who are rejoicing at nothing, Who are saying, “Have we not taken to ourselves horns by our strength?”
14 ecce enim suscitabo super vos domus Israhel dicit Dominus Deus exercituum gentem et conterent vos ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem Deserti
“Surely, behold, I am raising a nation against you, O house of Israel,” A declaration of YHWH, God of Hosts, “And they have oppressed you from the coming in to Hamath, To the stream of the desert.”
